Proclamation, July 4, 1870.
Headquarters Grand Marshal,
137. Montgomery Street,
San Francisco, June 17th, 1870.
Fellow Citizens-
The distinguished honor of Grand Marshal having been conferred upon me by the Citizens' Committee of Two Hundred, I hereby extend a cordial invitation to all Military and Civic bodies and to my Fellow Citizens, generally, of San Francisco, to participate in the coming Celebration, and render it a fit tribute to the revered and glorious memories of the founders of the Republic. Emulating the patriotism and unity of purpose that characterized our fathers, through which they secured and bequeathed to us a perilous heritage, our people earnestly desire to unite in celebrating the event, and as a testimony of that unity, make the approaching Celebration of the Fourth of July the most patriotic and imposing that has ever been witnessed on these shores. This resolve, characteristics of their high intelligence and liberal instincts, is an unfailing assurance that the courage, sacrifices, and heroism of the Fathers of the Revolution are gratefully appreciated by their descendants, and that the liberties evoked from the storms of the "days that tried men's souls" are lovingly treasured as a sacred inheritance by the whole American people.
To secure success for the coming Celebration, now so universally desired, the active cooperation of every citizen is earnestly requested. Special invitations will be issued to all Organized Bodies, and prompt replies are earnestly requested. Committees on Finance will call upon our citizens at large, from whom a generous response is expected.
The more effectually to carry out necessary preparations, I have appointed as my Aids-in-Chief.
COL. MICHAEL SKELLY and
HON. W. C. BURNETT.
Special Aids and other Appointments will be made and announced hereafter, as the work progresses.
The Grand Marshal takes this opportunity to acknowledge the high honor that his fellow-citizens have conferred upon him, and to invite their united cooperation in making the FOURTH OF JULY, 1870, a day worthy of the inspiring memories that cluster around it.
